2012-03-18release 182182Kay Sievers1-5/+18
2012-03-14rules sort order: /lib, /run, /etcKay Sievers1-0/+6
After long consideration we came to the conclusion that user configuration in /etc should always override the (generally computer generated) configuration in /run. User configuration should always be what matters over anything else. Hence rearrange the search orders accordingly. In general this should change very little as overriding like this is seldomn done so far, and the order between /etc and /usr stays the same.
2012-03-07remove udev-aclKay Sievers1-0/+7
Udev-acl will be part of a future ConsoleKit release. On systemd systems, advanced ConsoleKit and udev-acl functionality are natively provided by systemd.

2012-01-29do not stop rule processing when device node is no longer aroundKay Sievers1-0/+12
Device nodes might have been deleted again by the kernel before an 'add' or 'change' event is even started. We need to run all rules, regardless of the state in /dev.

2012-01-21libudev: do not set DEVNAME= twiceKay Sievers1-0/+16
When we read the 'uevent' file we need to make sure, that we do not read the relative DEVNAME= path provided by the kernel and overwrite the absolute path udev expects here.

2011-03-29systemd: do not enable udev-settle.service by defaultKay Sievers1-0/+7
This barrier service is usually not enabled by default. If enabled, it acts as a barrier for basic.target -- so all later services will wait for udev completely finishing its coldplug run. It might be enabled just unconditionally, or pulled-in on-demand by broken or non-hotplug-aware services that assume a fully populated /dev at startup.

Because such option is unreliable and unsafe to use.

2009-11-30input: Deprecate ENV{ID_CLASS}Martin Pitt1-0/+7
The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEYS,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}. Rewrite 60-persistent-input.rules to use the new properties now and not export ID_CLASS any more, since it is not used by anything else any more. Add note about migration to NEWS, in case this is being used in custom rules.

2009-11-19rules: remove support for IDE (hd*) devicesKay Sievers1-0/+4
The kernel IDE drivers get deprecated now: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/43151 Almost everybody has switched over to libata devices long ago. Recent services do not work with the now deprecated IDE drivers at all and require libata drivers and SCSI infrastructure. Systems who care about the old stuff need to add the rules to the compat rules.

2009-11-16remove "ignore_device"Kay Sievers1-0/+9
There is no way to ignore an event these days. Libudev events can not be suppressed. It only prevents RUN keys from being executed, which results in an inconsistent behavior in current setups.

2009-09-09simplify "symlink name stack"Kay Sievers1-0/+4
With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names. Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices. This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name stack - they are unique and can not conflict.

2009-08-19change database file namesKay Sievers1-0/+11
With very deeply nested devices, We can not use a single file name to carry an entire DEVPATH. Use <subsystem>:<sysname> as the database filename, which should also simplify the handling of devices moving around, as these values will not change but still be unique. For the name stack we use the <maj>:<min> now as the filename. > On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 09:59:56AM -0400, Ric Wheeler wrote: > The first is that udev grumbles during boot about "file name too long" > like the following: > > Aug 17 06:49:58 megadeth udevd-event[20447]: unable to create db file > '/dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:04.0\x2f0000:17:00.0\x2f0000:18:0a.0\x2f0000:1f:00.0\x2fhost11\x2fport-11:0\x2fexpander-11:0\x2fport-11:0:0\x2fexpander-11:1\x2fport-11:1:0\x2fexpander-11:2\x2fport-11:2:17\x2fexpander-11:3\x2fport-11:3:1\x2fend_device-11:3:1\x2fbsg\x2fend_device-11:3:1': > File name too long

2009-08-06re-enable failed event trackingKay Sievers1-1/+9
It did not work for the last couple of releases. If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with: udevadm trigger --type=failed The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that something is used in a way it should not.

Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, the no longer needed worker processes get killed.

2009-01-20Allow user and group lookup to be disabled.Scott James Remnant1-0/+3
In certain cut-down situations such as an installer or inside the initramfs, we simply don't have any kind of name service. While we could use rules without OWNER or GROUP, it's better to have the same rules as a full system and have udevd ignore those parts of the rules. Adds a --resolve-names=never switch to udevd that has this effect.
